Not On Wish List

CHICAGO — Health reform should have been on the congressional agenda years ago. The Republicans claimed to have had a bill that could have been passed.

However, the recent Republican "contract" with America states if elected, said they would pursue an agenda that includes tax cuts, a balanced budget amendment, welfare reform, a line-item veto, limits on congressional terms and a capital-gains tax cut. Apparently, health reform will not be a priority.
